VV&T in Borderland: uma jornada de aventuras no mundo dos bugs

Abstract

The teaching of Software Verification and Validation (SVV) faces significant challenges when taught theoretically. In order to promote greater engagement and practical application of the concepts, this paper presents an experience report on a gamification inspired by the Alice in Borderland series in the SVV discipline, in the Computer Science courses at Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC). The proposal, entitled VV&T in Borderland, groups elements such as themed cards and games related to the V&V contents, combining practice and verification and validation strategies. The results indicate that the proposal contributed to a more dynamic and effective learning process, permeating student participation and understanding of the V&V concepts.
